Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Hepatitis A  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: For most patients, HAV will go away on its own after several weeks. Hepatitis A infection can cause the liver to swell, but does not cause chronic liver disease and is rarely fatal, but it can cause debilitating symptoms. However, in patients with debilitated immune systems and underlying liver disease, hepatitis A may cause fulminant hepatitis (acute liver failure), which is associated with high mortality.
